If you're going to customize like a mad man, go with a Compact 2000, or a base gun such as the C2K. It's the cheapest way to go, that way you have more money to customize. :D

wait for the flash!! i just saw an ad in my new APG, it looks like a shutter body, with cool anno, a drop off of a xtra, and vert feed. it has the new elctronic grip that they make, and the MSRP is 299.99 so i bet it will be in stores for like 275, and its already electro!

tl's are cool, my last gun was a shutter and i loved it, it shot great and i could shoot pretty fast with it . . TL's are basically the same gun minus little things . . . is this your first gun? did she say what your budget was for shopping around . . .

no i have had a BE tiger shark before so yeah its pretty much my first gun. but she will buy me nothing no more than like 250. but if i get a 150 gun then she will help me pay for booh-yaaah. and N2.

dood after you pay for the boo ya and TL thats more than the flash, and this "flash" looks way sweet, plus the trigger on boo yah's suck (its like clicking a stiff mouse) these triggers look soft and short like the hyper frame trigger (sweet trigger ;) ) if i were you i would get the flash and small nitro tank . . .

your gpa has nothing to do with how smart you are or even your inteeligence level. for all we now you could be in "special classes" and making these grades. i'm in advance placement classes and have kept a 4.0 through all my years in high school.
stop hating just cause you think your better than someone. the truth is that your not due to the fact your being blinded by your own ego. this guy has something good going for him so don't hate congradulate.:pissed:

*cough*highschool is a joke*cough*
No offense to anyone, but I've seen people with 4.0's in highschool do poorly in college, and I've seen people barely graduate highschool go on to cruise through high level college classes. Hell I've seen a pothead look at the book he had for a 400 level class and realize he'd read it years before for fun. I had a friend who had a 4.0 taking things like weightlifting in highschool. He was a jock, and hardly worked at all in any of his four years. I've also had friends get an A in an "Advance Placement" class and get a 1 on the AP test. I could go on for pages. I don't know about private schools though...college prep schools might be as challenging (and fun) as university classes.
Moral of the story is...grades mean jack. Work your hieny off, and get the knowledge. That'll help you in college no matter where you go. I'm not tooting my own horn either, I'm just an average student...I have to work to pull decent grades (in college) and I try to.
By the way. I think that kingman marker sounds cool. I don't see it anywhere on their site though. Hopefully if its $300 MSRP it'll be cheaper from the online stores. That means it'll be comparable to or cheaper than a rainmaker, and I think most people who want an electro for cheap would pick a Spyder over a BE product. If anything, it's going to promote price wars on electro markers.

ok enough about crapy grades in highschool what is a better gun? tl plus or shutter? remember im not buying the gun im gunna buy N2 and boo-yaah for it.

Heh, my grades have never been so great. :) Never made it over 3.5, as I probably spend too much time on the computer. :D Anyhoo, neither the TL+ or the Shutter are better than each other. Yes, the Shutter has a regulator that makes it a bit better if you remove the expansion chamber, however, the price makes it worse than the TL+ IMO. Overall, I'd rather go with a Compact 2000. Saves you the most money to spend on whatever it is that you wish to have.

get a hyper frame instead of a boo-yaahit is alot better imo and hyper mode is just nuts

you can get a compact for about 90 bucks compared tot he tl+ that is like what........160-170. For the extra cash you save with the compact you could get a nice inline regulator. I would get my mom to buy the compact and Regulator. you buy the HPA and the Boo yaah. Just a suggestion

the flash is going to SUCK!!! Its a freaking Xtra with a cheapass eframe. I'd go what with Hsuve said, get a Compact and start from there. BTW you should get a Freak system before a Boo-Yaah IMO, the eLCD frames aren't that great. Play with one for a couple games and see if you can shoot fast with the eLCD before spending serious cash on one. I shot about 6bps on a stock SE gun, on my eLCD i can only go about 3 or 4 (when doing semi of course)
the reason you can only do three or four on the eLCD is because you weren't used to the trigger. i can pull off 7 bps with my TL and the first time i shot my friends Bushmaster i could only get like 4 or 5 but after you get used to the length you can blast off about 11-12 bps with no problem. my next gun is going to be a bushy hands down. go for the hyper frame if you want it. it's all just opinion though whether or not to get the freak, ask yourself do you want pinpoint accuracy or accuracy by volume, one day i hope to have both :)

if you are gonna upgrade it then go with a compact. that is what i did and it was great fun tricking it out.

If you want the nifty difty colors of the Java, get a compact Java.:) They have the quick strip pull pin, colors and are pretty damn cheap. Also, why does everyone keep suggesting the flash, knowing kingmans rep the frame will probably be ****. (I hope i'm wrong)

Well, whether it's crap or not, it's still electronic... ;) Plus it looks pretty cheap (Price wise). The MSRP is $300, but all that means to me is that it'll be lower, real quickly... :D
